The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 06:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Total category-fork. They don't even link to each other, and both are in mostly the same parent categories. Individual surname articles are randomly categorized into one, the other, or sometimes both. The merge would be consistent with Category:Irish surnames being a cat.-redirect to Category:Surnames of Irish origin. I'm not sure why we're preferring the more longwinded name (that fewer people are likely to pick by guessing at it) but we seem to be; the obvious parent cats. are Category:Surnames of British Isles origin and Category:Surnames of European origin, with similarly named subcats., though there may be a few other stragglers to round up.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  18:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Category:Fictional characters with animal abilities

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus for the first category, merge the second.
Nominator's rationale: It's unclear what "animal abilities" even means in this context, making this a WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. In its current form, it is confusing. The best thing to do is merge to Category:Animal superheroes, while purging the morphing subcategory and non-superheroes. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 09:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Oppose merger. Most of the characters listed under Category:Fictional characters with animal abilities are not animals, they're people with animalistic abilities, nor are they even all necessarily superheroes either. AHI-3000 ( talk) 10:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply
There is no firm definition of what an "animalistic ability" is, making it subjective. While plant abilities are pretty clear-cut, humans are capable of things that may be described as "animalistic" but are not necessarily related to animals. For example, one could say a character who flies using a jetpack is "bird-like" but may be unrelated to birds. This is why I think such a category is totally untenable.
If they have animal morphing abilities, then the below mentioned shapeshifter category will work. Not every single thing needs a specific category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 12:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply

We could start sorting superheroes and supervillains by theme, as with the existing Category:United States-themed superheroes — most of the characters here have animal themes, but their abilities are varied. – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 10:33, 29 November 2023 (UTC) reply

I want ahead and created both Category:Fictional characters who can control animals and Category:Fictional characters who can communicate with animals. AHI-3000 ( talk) 08:41, 2 December 2023 (UTC) reply
I also support your suggestion regarding animal-themed characters; we can create Category:Animal-themed superheroes and Category:Animal-themed supervillains. Though the scope of these categories would be rather broad, as Batman and Spider-Man are both technically animal-themed heroes, but Batman doesn't actually have literal animal powers.

Nominator's rationale: The same criticism I made in my AfD nomination. ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/One-off vehicle) Not to mention of its vagueness, I am presented with a category that doesn't know what it wants to be. We have a mishmash of film and TV cars, custom cars, coachbuilts (custom cars for rich people), promo cars, concept cars, speed record cars and racecars, especially some from an era when individual example is not uncommon.

The Civil Administration Medal is a minor award from the Sarawak state of Malaysia but the only article in the category is George Chan Hong Nam which doesn't even mention the award.

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD & WP:NONDEFINING
The Military Merit Cross (Mecklenburg-Schwerin) was given out by the Mecklenburg-Schwerin division of the German Empire from 1848 to 1918, although the vast majority of recipients here are royalty or military leaders from other areas of Germany. The biography articles, like Ludwig Freiherr von und zu der Tann-Rathsamhausen and Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, generally mention this award in passing with other honours so it doesn't seem defining. There was only a partial list in the article so I expanded it for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:53, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 06:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Total category-fork. They don't even link to each other, and both are in mostly the same parent categories. Individual surname articles are randomly categorized into one, the other, or sometimes both. The merge would be consistent with Category:Irish surnames being a cat.-redirect to Category:Surnames of Irish origin. I'm not sure why we're preferring the more longwinded name (that fewer people are likely to pick by guessing at it) but we seem to be; the obvious parent cats. are Category:Surnames of British Isles origin and Category:Surnames of European origin, with similarly named subcats., though there may be a few other stragglers to round up.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  18:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Category:Fictional characters with animal abilities

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus for the first category, merge the second.
Nominator's rationale: It's unclear what "animal abilities" even means in this context, making this a WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. In its current form, it is confusing. The best thing to do is merge to Category:Animal superheroes, while purging the morphing subcategory and non-superheroes. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 09:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Oppose merger. Most of the characters listed under Category:Fictional characters with animal abilities are not animals, they're people with animalistic abilities, nor are they even all necessarily superheroes either. AHI-3000 ( talk) 10:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply
There is no firm definition of what an "animalistic ability" is, making it subjective. While plant abilities are pretty clear-cut, humans are capable of things that may be described as "animalistic" but are not necessarily related to animals. For example, one could say a character who flies using a jetpack is "bird-like" but may be unrelated to birds. This is why I think such a category is totally untenable.
If they have animal morphing abilities, then the below mentioned shapeshifter category will work. Not every single thing needs a specific category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 12:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD & WP:NONDEFINING
The Military Merit Cross (Mecklenburg-Schwerin) was given out by the Mecklenburg-Schwerin division of the German Empire from 1848 to 1918, although the vast majority of recipients here are royalty or military leaders from other areas of Germany. The biography articles, like Ludwig Freiherr von und zu der Tann-Rathsamhausen and Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, generally mention this award in passing with other honours so it doesn't seem defining. There was only a partial list in the article so I expanded it for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:53, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply
